    I using the Twenty Ten theme.

    Appologies in advance I’m new to wordpress. The site is here http://basic.fm I have set up the highlights section as the posts page.

    When I put the post tiles short code in the actual highlights page it does nothing. When I put the shortcode in a post it creates a grid of posts ( A really nice grid btw, nice work). But also displays all the posts underneath also in standard format.

    Possibly I am just displaying a fundamentall lack of understanding here. But I dont want the old format posts hanging around just the grid of nice looking tiles.

    What to do?

    Oh BTW if you visit the site you will see that I am not using post tiles at the moment as its a working site and I didn’t want this problem to be visible. Let me know if you want me to set it up so you can see the problem.

    Basicfm,

    I don’t receive notifications whenever anyone puts an issue on here so I have to check back everyone once and a while. The best thing to do would be to email or tweet at me @ethanhackett

    From what it sounds like you’d like to have Post Tiles show your tiles and not show normal posts underneath it.

    What you’d want to do is create a separate page for your blog. In Settings > Reading make sure that Posts page: is not set to highlights. You will want highlights to operate just like a normal page.

    Once you have highlights working like a page, not the blog, add the post tiles short code and it will pull in your posts. Please let me know if that solves the issue.

    Example shortcode: [post-tiles] or [post-tiles categories=’1,2,4,10′ posts=’8′ excerpt=’18’].

    Thanks Ethan,

    That worked straight away. Very much appreciated. (sorry for earlier grumpy comment, I didn’t realise you don’t get notifications).

    Best

    BFM.

    Awesome glad it worked for you. I hate seeing my stuff break :'(

    As far as the grumpy goes I can totally relate when I;m struggling to find answers to issues I’m having. So no worries.
